Rat Meteorin, METRN ELISA Kit, 96T sgRNA customized design A pseudogene of this gene

A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 13

suggesting a further role in the maintenance of telomeric stability and the prevention of chromosomal end fusion (PubMed: 12426399)

PTM:Undergoes zinc metalloproteinase-mediated ectodomain shedding in neuroblastoma cells

Possesses defensin-like antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria

When the protein binds to IRE

Rat Meteorin, METRN ELISA Kit, 96T sgRNA customized design A pseudogene of this geneInvolved in both glial cell differentiation and axonal network formation during neurogenesis. Promotes astrocyte differentiation and transforms cerebellar astrocytes into radial glia. Also induces axonal extension in small and intermediate neurons of sensory ganglia by activating nearby satellite glia (By similarity).
